Subaru to jointly
develop EV
platform and
electric SUV
Toyota and Subaru have agreed
to jointly develop an EV
platform for midsize and large
passenger vehicles, as well as a
C-segment-class electric SUV
for sale under each company’s
own brand. The companies
hope to combine their re-
spective strengths, including
Subaru’s much-lauded AWD
system and Toyota’s electrifica-
tion technology.
The dedicated EV platform
will be developed in a way that
will make it broadly applica-
ble to multiple vehicle types,
including C-segment-class and
D-segment-class sedans and
SUVs, as well as to efficient de-
velopment of derivative vehicle
models.
This isn’t the first time the au-
tomakers have worked together.
In 2012, Toyota and Subaru
co-developed the Toyota 86 and
Subaru BRZ, as well as Subaru’s
Crosstrek Hybrid.
You barely hear it coming, and it leaves virtually nothing behind.
The electric vehicle may just change everything – bringing with
it the promise of smart, economical transportation while leaving
virtually no impact on our environment. At BorgWarner, we’re
proud to be part of this exciting movement, developing new
technologies for electric vehicles along with other innovative
automotive propulsion systems. And leading the way to a
cleaner, more energy-efficient world.It may be the quietest
revolution in history.
